5-axis machining center · built in Denmark
Unicorn 5-200 Modular
A compact 5-axis machining center built to stack. Start with one module, add robot loading when you need it, and grow to a lights-out cluster4 without discarding the machine you started with.
Placeholder line work · CAD renders and machining film replace this at build (C1)Full-scale prototype in build. Final castings due July 2026. Factory acceptance test scheduled for mid-August 2026.
Start with one module. Stack to eight.4
The machine is the building block of a production system. Each step keeps every module you already own.
One module
A compact 5-axis cell, 2250 mm wide, with flood coolant, tooling, and control included.
Add robot loading
A FANUC LR Mate cell docks to the module and feeds multi-cycle runs.
Cluster
Modules share tool, pallet, and material handling in one footprint.4
Run lights-out
Nights and weekends become machine hours, with no fences on the floor.3
Built for the hours you are not there
The robot cell keeps feeding parts after the crew goes home. The cell is designed to meet CE machinery requirements without physical safety barriers3, so it fits where a fenced cell will not.
The price is on the page
The base machine starts at €230k before options.1 Configure the module count and automation, ask, and you get a number and a lead time. See what drives the price.
Grouped the way you evaluate a machine
The four questions a production manager asks first. The full datasheet lists every number and is one click away, no account needed. Open the full datasheet.
Spindle and motion 05.1
- Spindle
- 0-60,000 rpm
- Travels X / Y / Z
- 558 / 246 / 324 mm
- Repeatability
- <±4 µm2
Axis acceleration of 12 m/s² and feed rates up to 36 m/min keep cycle times short on parts up to Ø225 × 233 mm.
Coolant and chip control 05.2
- Flood circuit
- 8 bar
- Reservoir
- ~300 L
- Through-tool (optional)
- 80 bar
The standard machine floods the work area at 8 bar from a ~300 L reservoir. An optional high-pressure system feeds coolant through the tool at 80 bar.
Automation 05.3
- Robot cell
- FANUC LR Mate
- Operation
- lights-out, multi-cycle
- Cell layout
- no fences3
The robot cell docks to the machine and is designed to meet CE machinery requirements without physical safety barriers.3
Platform 05.4
- Cluster size
- 1 to 8 modules4
- Control
- FANUC 31i-B5 Plus
- Module weight
- ~2,300 kg
Modules stack into one production cluster and share tool, pallet, and material handling, so capacity grows without a new floor plan.4
